Does the date update daily/weekly, or only when something happens? Also, for those with 1/11 dates, did your status change to "Decision" or did it stay at "Complete"? Thanks for the info, and good luck to everyone.

The status checker updates every day or so except Sunday, so the Last Updated date reflects that. Those with the 1/11, 1/9 etc dates all had their status change from Complete to Decision...

ugh. first i got a faculty review email from berkeley yesterday, today i got this weird "hold" email from michigan, and based on my application date, i know my hold/rejection email from harvard is coming soon. not looking to be a good week.

You didn't get the same letter people posted earlier in this thread?

I think she meant she hopes this isn't just some form letter like it seemed to be earlier, but actually a meaningful and sincere gesture...or something like that...

Yes. While I hope it actually means I have a shot, I think...after almost everyone and their Mom has gotten it, what it really is is just a form letter that went out to everyone who applied early and hasn't gotten an answer yet.
